Naming the top 5 anime movies of all time is most likely difficult for any true fan. Narrowing down any genre is a long process. Here are a couple of anime movies loved by many.

Ghost in the Shell is set in Japan in the year 2029. An elite team by the name of Section 9 fights crimes and terrorists acts caused by the outstanding technology of the future. However, when a computer virus with the ability to alter human memories is made, the team chases a case that changes them forever.

Spirited Away involves Chihiro, a spoiled ten-year-old girl, who becomes wrapped up in a world that is far from anything she is used to. Lost in a fantasy land, she must find her parents and return to reality before it is too late.

Ninja Scroll is an action packed film. When a cargo of gold gets lost in a storm, a group of highly trained ninjas race against time to find it before the evil Gemma. The treasure is so important that it is literally a match between good and evil.

In Princess Mononoke, a young boy is cursed and sets out on a journey through the forest to find help. He rapidly becomes caught in a war between the mining town and the forest creatures. Torn between the two sides, he must make a decision and choose the side he will support.

Though Cowboy Bebop was first a series, it later became a movie favorite. On the planet Mars, a deadly virus is released and threatens humankind. After the largest bounty ever is set on the man who is responsible, a gang of bounty hunters competes against others to find him. However, this proves harder than they ever imagined.

These films are just some of several that could be named the top 5 anime movies of all time. Polls are conducted constantly and fans race to answer. However, a great number of movies run through their minds when they are asked, "Which are your favorites?"
